Flat motors
Rotor and stator supplied separately
DC motors cannot always be optimally integrated into a structure; space and weight play a major role in robot joints, for example, and standard solutions reach their limits.
Maxon Motor has therefore developed an alternative for the robotics market and offers the EC flat brushless flat motors as a frameless motor kit: the rotor and stator are supplied separately - without bearings and without a motor shaft - and are only connected together when the components are assembled. The brushless flat motors in the EC flat range have external diameters of 43 to 90 mm. Designed as external rotor motors, they offer plenty of space inside for cable bushings. The supplier supplies them with Hall sensors for easy control. Engineers can integrate the frameless motors into robot joints to save space.
